'Whittaker' gladly shares with you this excellent news of improved bibliographic access to Irish music manuscripts. Here's the communication from Dr Catherine Ferris:-
"First
Phase of the RISM Ireland Database Launched
RISM Ireland is
delighted to announce the launch of a new Irish-focused free-to-access database
of pre-twentieth century musical materials held in repositories throughout the
island of Ireland. This new resource highlights the contents of Ireland’s
collections in a national context. In addition, records from the RISM Ireland
catalogue are shared with the RISM
Zentralredaktion in Frankfurt, which publishes the collective work of RISM
groups in thirty-five countries throughout the world, thereby placing the Irish
sources in a worldwide context.
The work of RISM
Ireland is project-based, focusing on diverse areas of Irish musical life and
individual institutional holdings. This launch highlights the first major
research project to be published in the database: The Mercer’s Hospital Music
Collection. This project, undertaken in collaboration with RISM Ireland and RISM
UK, resulted from a DIT Conservatory of Music & Drama research scholarship.
The scholarship to carry out doctoral research on the collection was awarded to
Tríona O’Hanlon and supervised by Dr Kerry Houston.
